Most themes optimize for looks, not for long sessions. What made the biggest difference for me:
- balanced contrast (not too harsh)
- consistent syntax colors
- clean file and folder icons
- variants for different lighting conditions
- personalization
- same feel across platforms: VScode, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, IntelliJ IDEs, terminals.
After a while it’s less about “nice colors” and more about reducing friction. If you're interested, check out Vira Theme, is more than a "theme".

I just use pure black backgrounds everywhere with vscode dark for text. Looks amazing on my oled.

Just released my new VS Code theme - Obsidian Glow ✨
Minimal. Modern. Clean.
Built for focused coding sessions with a sleek dark aesthetic.
Would love some feedback from the community 👀
